Professional manufacturer of Bucket Arches for ancient buildings

  Bucket arch is a unique structural component of ancient Chinese architecture
At the junction of the column and the beam, the arched load-bearing structure protruding from the top of the column is called the arch, and the square wood block padded between the arch and the arch is called the bucket, which is collectively called the bucket arch
Bucket arch, also known as & ldquo; Mountain Festival& ldquo; The mountain Festival is called "the carved column head is a bucket arch, which is shaped like a mountain"; (Tang? Kong Yingda)
The bucket arch is located between the column and the beam
The load transmitted from the roof and the upper frame is transmitted to the column through the bucket arch, and then transmitted to the foundation by the column, which plays the role of connecting the preceding and the following and transmitting the load
The bucket arch is structurally composed of four components:
 
1 arch: an arched member parallel to the surface of a building

 
2
Warping: & rdquo; An arched member perpendicular to or at an angle of 45 or 60 degrees from the surface of a building
Its form is the same as that of arch, but its placement direction is different

 
3 ang: ang was an inclined component in the bucket arch in the Tang and Song Dynasties, which acted as a lever
This is true ang
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the structural function of ang declined and often only played a decorative role
The form is to lengthen the outward end and sag obliquely (or pick it out obliquely)

 
4 bucket and lift: both bucket and lift are bucket shaped cubes
Located at both ends of the arch, it is bounded by the upper and lower arches or between the arch and the brace
It is called & ldquo; in the Qing Dynasty; L & rdquo;
Located at both ends of the warping or lifting, bounded between the upper and lower layers, or between the transverse arches, it is called & ldquo; Bucket & rdquo;
Except for the different positions of bucket and lifting, in all bucket arches with transverse arches, the lifting only supports the arch or brace parallel to the surface of the building, so only one opening is opened, which is called & ldquo; Along the body and mouth;; The bucket arch supports the intersecting arch and warping, so the bucket is & ldquo; Crosshead & rdquo;
